bright night

Last night there were several tornado warnings in the area where we live. Around 7:30pm, Mark and I went outside to move my car into the garage (yes, we have a messy garage and had to clear it out first!) The sky grew nearly pitch black, then all of the sudden, lit up as bright as day.



The wind was intense, then it started hailing golf ball sized hail. Everything was scary for a while last night with the tornado warnings and sirens going off every five minutes or so. Around 10:30pm, everything settled down. Other neighborhoods, cities, and states were not as fortunate and real damage occurred. This is a constant reminder of how we need to be in constant prayer for others...and take action to donate to the victims of these devastations.

There are several places to donate, such as World Vision
 and American Red Cross.

    I was really worried and so relieved you were all safe. You know we live in Tornado Alley and we have nothing but wind this year and with no rain we have really big
    fire worries.

    Oh wow, it was a rough night, wasn't it? So glad to hear you all are safe. -- I spent a good chunk of the evening in the bathtub waiting out the tornado warnings. Unfortunately, I have to leave my car in the parking love of my apartment complex, and my brand new Kia now is badly dented with a broken windshield. :-(

    Okay, make that "parking lot" -- not sure where "love" came from, LOL.

    I have yet to post anything on my blog about the storm. I probably will this weekend when I do one of my Ramblings pages, though.
